How to improve your in car stereo

For many people, their in car stereo is arguably the most important component in their vehicle. Whether you want to blast your music gangster-style or allow the music to take away the stress of modern driving, it has become more and more commonplace to have advanced stereos in a car.

While most modern vehicles now have high quality stereos, particularly in more high-end vehicles, after-market devices still offer the ultimate in quality. The other advantage of after-market stereos is being able to customise it to suit your requirements and taste. This approach does have its share of challenges. Integrating the new in car stereo can be difficult due to the complexity of the electrical systems in modern vehicles and the presence of steering mounted controls and the like. Consequently, installation should be done at a reputable dealer who can advise you on how to achieve the sound you’re after and the latest options available.

Most cars have a CD/radio of middling to acceptable quality. However, there is a plethora of options for you to choose from, including MP3 players, iPod docks, CD changers and DAB Digital radio. You can even have a DVD player with TV and satellite navigation to round off your sound system. A powerful amplifier will also give your sound a big boost, improving quality and really increasing the SPL levels that your stereo can produce. And last, but by no means least, you can upgrade your speakers, with advanced drivers to bring realism to the treble and midrange and an extra-large subwoofer to the back to really churn out the bass.
